Lovely food and a beautiful room with a comfy bed and fantastic views over the South Downs. Slow and surly service at breakfast was a shame, but overall a pleasant place to stay.

4/10 Fair

Overpriced

It was very over priced. The room was small, the carpet was stained, the shower was like warm and the breakfast not good - poached eggs on avocado were undercooked.

Tim, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Fabulous location

Lovely location, great service with happy and helpful staff. Food a bit on the expensive side and limited dinner menu, breakfast was really good. Room ok but the showroom was extremely cold. Everything you needed in the room and fresh milk for drinks. Big plus was a served at the table breakfast and not a buffet.

Hilton, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

We enjoyed our stay here in a lovely area, countryside views and peaceful. We stayed 3 nights and the menu was small and unchanged. Small tweeks to the special. Booked a room with the terrace which was lovely as we had excellent weather. Generally the room was well designed, like 2 comfy chairs not 1 as is often the case. Bathroom looked smart but usual no place to put wash bags, no towel rail so wet towels on back of door hooks ...not thought through. Staff were great, friendly and helpful.

Lovely stay!

Lovely spot - beautiful views, quaint rooms, small but comfy, cosy warm and well-equiped. Good food, albeit a little slow to be served.
